The paper considers synthesis of a dual-reflector antenna with an offset feeder and elliptical aperture, using complex coordinates. It also gives an example of calculation for the reflector and convergent reflector surfaces of the dual-reflector Gregorian antenna system with 1:10 aperture axial ratio. It has been shown that the reflector profiles which are calculated according to the proposed method provide good electrodynamic antenna characteristics.
